Same here. Have 10k on mine. Had to mount tires myself as discount wouldn't touch it. That way - at least you know it's done right.

My main concern was the maintenance. Should that even be a real concern?

I like them but, seems everyone who has them has an issue with radial pull. I have this but it doesn't bother me. As for the tread here in Colorado? I think I'm going to Terra Grapplers next. We don't have mud, as compared to back east, and the Terra Grapplers would suit better in the street driving with snow. As for rail time, mostly rock and dirt in the higher elevations and I think the Terra's grab a little better on rock vs. he Trail Grapplers. Also considering Toyos. Just not sure yet. But, I'm about a year or so out from buying anything, so we'll see what else may pop up.

Yeah I'm in South Carolina (implanted from the 303). Seems there's quite a bit of mud here... I do have a small trail we're building on the back side of our property (it's a small 5 acres). There's some trails a couple of hours from here I haven't tried yet. Anyways.

I ordered the Standards in matte black with trail grappler m/t's in 35x12.50. I'll take some pics when they come in.

Method recommends re-torquing the rings every 200 miles. I checked them a couple times in the first 700 - 800 miles and didn't find that any of them had loosened. Now I'm at around 5,000 miles and don't check them as often, but they have held the torque quite well.

Now if I have to dismount and remount for a flat of for new tires, it may be a different story. But for now, with new wheels and new bolts, tightened and torqued as recommended, I have had no issues or complaints at all.

I posted some beadlock info on another thread:

If you scroll down to the vid part, you'd be surprised how much of a beating these beadlocks can take. Here are a couple of examples and I actually think these 2 examples were with Methods mounted...

Try these with a standard wheel....
Flat tire on beadlock = finished race @ 0:30:49 and 0:30:54
Flat tire / NO tire driven on beadlock for 20 miles = still finished race @ 1:14:35

Ok, here she is... Last (might be the only pic I have) before the big boy wheels and tires go on. All that's been done so far is Carolina metal masters grab handles (front & back), and a RK 2.5 max travel lift with fox 2.0's.




Next stop... Method standards and 35" trail grapplers =]

Sad face... Mid mounting the tires... They sent the wrong back spaced rims. Now I have to wait again... I lived without them for almost 40 years now I'm mad about another couple weeks. Go figure

Running the Method 101's 17" with Toyo Open Country MT 40's. Sorry no great wheel pics but here's a couple from this years SEMA show.
